A lot happened this summer, but much of it went remarkably unphotographed. Daddy lost his job, but the severance was good enough to warrant taking the summer off. There were day trips and camping trips and lots of swimming at the lake, most of which did not involve a camera. So, what follows are some pictures of Sage's last days of Kindergarten (both public school and after-care) along with a few random photos from the summer.


Sage sings in the end-of-year show with her public school class.


Gives us the thumbs-up...


And has her very first speaking part!


Sage at her after-care graduation ceremony.


Rocked-out like the star she is...


And performed in the "Midsummer's Night Dream" puppet show.

As for the largely undocumented summer...

Sage learned to use the camera, resulting in...


A self-portrait.


And numerous Loki pictures, of which this is a sample.


Speaking of Loki, Sage decided he would have a birthday party.


We also took a day trip into the city to meet up with our friend Kate, and took this lovely picture of Sage on the steps of the Met.


Sage has also developed quite a knack for cooking, and has been helping Mommy and her godmother Mara in the kitchen. Here she is dressed for action!
